Salaried GP | Dereham
Background
New starters here are given room to settle in. There’s no personal patient list, no duty doctor rota to join immediately, and a two-week structured induction that can be extended for as long as you need. It’s a practice that invests in getting your first months right, and GPs placed here by Menlo Park have gone on to build long careers with the team.
Location
The practice is based in Dereham, a market town in the heart of Norfolk. Norwich is around thirty minutes away by car, with Swaffham roughly twenty minutes and King’s Lynn around forty minutes, giving a good range of options for a wider commute.
The Practice
- Mid-sized practice with a strong partnership team and a large salaried GP team, supported by advanced nurse practitioners, clinical pharmacists and a wider nursing and admin team.
- Built in peer support, with a daily clinical catch up, fortnightly clinical governance meetings and a monthly GP meeting.
- Home visits shared across GPs, nurse practitioners and a dedicated visiting nurse, with a weekly Partner led care home round.
- CQC rated Good across every domain.
Your Role
- 6 sessions across three working days: Monday and Tuesday, plus Wednesday or Friday.
- No personal patient list. All appointments are triaged and allocated by a duty desk practitioner, keeping the working day predictable.
- No extended hours or access requirements, as this sits with the Partners.
- New starters are not expected to take on duty doctor responsibilities straight away, running normal clinics only until ready.
- A structured two-week induction as standard, extendable further if needed.
- Scope to bring or develop a specialist interest, including minor surgery, joint injections, spirometry, women’s health or sexual health.
Requirements
- Comfortable with a mixed patient population that can include some complex or challenging presentations, within the practice’s zero tolerance approach to abusive behaviour.
- Open to GPs at any stage of their career, including those newly qualified.
- A reasonable commute to Dereham is preferred, given the working pattern.
Salary And Benefits
- £11,500 per session, plus CPD.
- Tier 2 (Skilled Worker) visa sponsorship available.
- Professional fees covered.
- NHS Pension Scheme.
- 6 weeks annual leave plus bank holidays.
- BMA model contract.
You must be qualified as a General Practitioner and registered with the GMC and UK performers list.
